Wings Over Water Festival

The Outer Banks of North Carolina and the adjacent lands are a paradise of ocean beaches, rolling sand hills, shrub thickets, broad marsh areas, pocosins, blackwater swamps and tracts of maritime and inland forests. These varied habitats are rich in wildlife diversity, and large acreages are protected as wildlife refuges and parks. The six-day Wings over Water Wildlife Festival is an opportunity to explore this land of wildlife enchantment through nearly 100 programs in themes ranging from birding to paddling to photography, natural history and more.
